Man Utd star Amad mocks Gabriel with brutal social media post after Arsenal draw

Amad Diallo had a good laugh at the expense of Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes following the Gunners' 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford. Gabriel talked a big game leading up to the Premier League showdown, but United punished him by making a huge dent in what remains of their title charge.

Arsenal are now 15 points behind Liverpool with 10 matches to play. And while they have a game in hand on the Reds, the chances of Mikel Arteta's men clawing back the deficit in such a short space of time are slim at best. Sunday's trip to Manchester made them even more remote, which will be extra satisfying for United after Gabriel poked fun at their forwards in the lead-up.

In a clip which went viral prior to kick-off, Gabriel was asked whether he was particularly scared of any United attackers. He responded: "I'm pretty sure I have scored more than all of them."

In his defence, the jibe was not far off being factually accurate. Gabriel has been a menace from set pieces this season, netting three times in the Premier League - the same total as United striker Joshua Zirkzee, and one more than the Red Devils' other senior centre-forward, Rasmus Hojlund.

But Amad still did not take to it kindly. Quoting the clip of Gabriel's comments, the Ivorian responded with a clip of Zirkzee celebrating against United after scoring the winning penalty in their January FA Cup clash. He added the caption: "Ahahah".
